Data I/O Techniques • CCB Technique Sanyo audio ICs input and output data using the Sanyo CCB (computer control bus) standard, which is a serial bus format.

Since the DO pin is an n-channel open drain pin, the time required for the data to change from the low level to the high level depends on the value of the pull-up resistor. No. 5875-5/15 LC72708E • Layer 4 CRC Data Input Timing CRC4 pin output CRC4 output after N items transferred Note: The N items are 8-bit units. Serial Control Data Input Settings The input data consists of 16 bits (DI0 to DI15). The upper 8 bits (DI8 to DI15) are the control address and the lower 8 bits (DI0 to DI7) are the input data. Bits DI12 to DI15 are ignored.

The number of allowed errors is the number of allowed error bits in the 16 bits used for BIC recognition. This data item allows the forward protection mode (used when synchronized) and the backward protection mode (used when not synchronized) values to be set independently. The default value is to allow up to 2 error bits in both the forward and backward directions. We recommend setting the backward protection mode number of allowable BIC errors to 1 or 0 if the block synchronization recognition output (the BLOCK pin, pin 23) is used to recognize the presence or absence of FM multiplex data. • Block Synchronization Error Protection Count The synchronization protection count can be set independently in the forward and backward directions. The protection count conditions are as follows. — Backward protection (unsynchronized, BLOCK = low) When the timing of the IC’s internal synchronization free-running counter matches that of the received BIC, the protection count is incremented by 1. Similarly, if the IC internal counter and the received BIC do not match, the counter is cleared to 0. The count timing is the timing of the IC internal counter. — Forward protection (synchronized, BLOCK = high) Operation is the opposite of the backward case, namely, the protection count is incremented when the timing of the IC’s internal synchronization free-running counter does not match that of the received BIC, and the protection count is cleared to zero when the timing matches. Figure 1 shows the protection counter when both the forward and backward protection counts are set to 3. This IC defines the protection counter value to be 1 at the point where a match or a mismatch occurs between the IC internal timing and the received BIC timing. For example, a backward protection count of 2 corresponds to the case where the IC internal timing and the received BIC timing match two times consecutively. To set the protection data to new values, applications must send data in which 1 has been subtracted from the desired values, e.g. to set up protection counts of 3 as shown in figure 1, applications must send the value 22H. Similarly, if the value set is 00, due to the definition, the protection counts for both the forward and backward directions will be set to 1. However, from an operation standpoint, this corresponds to operation equivalent to there being no protection circuit. The default values are a forward protection count of 8 and a backward protection count of 2. We recommend resetting the block synchronization Continued on next page. No. 5875-6/15 LC72708E Continued from preceding page. backward protection count to a value stricter than the default, e.g. to a value of 3 or more as opposed to the default of 2, if the block synchronization recognition output (the BLOCK pin, pin 23) is used to recognize the presence or absence of FM multiplex data. • Frame Synchronization Error Protection Count This IC detects the four unique BIC inflection points that exist in a single frame, and increments or decrements the protection counter depending on whether or not the IC internal frame synchronization counter matches. The data values are set in the same way as those for the block synchronization protection count are set, namely data in which 1 has been subtracted from the desired protection count must be transferred. The frame synchronization default values are 8 for forward protection and 2 for backward protection. • Control Registers These registers are used to set the IC operating mode. These are described later. • Notes — The address bits DI12 to DI15 are ignored. — Addresses other than those listed above (for example location 0110) are special addresses used for test mode and other special IC functions. Do not set these locations. — The default values are the values reloaded into the internal registers when a reset signal (RST) is received. These values are the recommended values for normal operation, and normally do not need to be modified. If only the default values are used, there is no need to provide data transfer routines in the external CPU. Reset Received data Synchronization counter BIC position Block : Both forward and backward protection counts are 3. Figure 1 Block Synchronization Protection Operation (forward → backward → forward) Layer 4 CRC Check Circuit This is a function provided for data group error detection, i.e. layer 4 CRC. After the stipulated number of bytes of data group data and a 16-bit CRC error check word are transferred, the CRC4 pin outputs a high level if there were no errors. The CRC4 pin outputs a high level if all the bits in the IC internal CRC check register were 0. When using this function to perform the layer 4 CRC check, the IC internal CRC check register must be initialized before a single data group data unit is transferred. This register is initialized by sending bit 7 of the control register. Note that since this flag is not automatically reset to 0, the application must return it to 0 before transferring layer 4 CRC check data. If there were no errors in any of the received data groups, the CRC register will always be all zeros after the CRC check of a single data group. Therefore, the above control register initialization will not be necessary as long as there are no errors in the layer 4 CRC. The data length of the transferred data group data is in unit of 8 bits. Also note that while there is no upper limit on the amount of data transferred in a single operation, data transfers can also be divided into multiple transfer operations.

Detailed Descriptions • VEC HALT Setting this flag stops all IC operations related to vertical and second horizontal correction. Data output is limited to data following the first horizontal correction. • EC STOP This flag stops all operations (including RAM access) related to error correction and all data output operations. While all IC operations are stopped in standby mode, MSK demodulation, the synchronization circuit, the serial data input circuit, and the layer 4 CRC circuit continue to operate in this mode. • SYNC RST Clears the synchronization state and the synchronization protection state in the synchronization block and sets that block to the unsynchronized state. This allows quick frame synchronization pull in when, during receiver tuning operations, the frame period of the new reception data after station selection is displaced. While this flag is used for initialization of synchronization related circuits, it does not initialize the number of allowed BIC errors, the block synchronization forward and backward protection settings, and the registers of frame synchronization forward and backward protection settings. During the synchronization block reset, the INT signal is not output and the DO pin outputs a high level (high impedance). Since this flag is not automatically reset to 0, applications must send data again to set it to 0. • INT MOVE The data output by this IC is fully corrected, and only data received during both block and frame synchronization is output. (The layer 2 CRC check is included.) This flag must be set to acquire all data in the same manner as the LC72700. • DO MOVE In the LC72700, the DO pin output was linked to and changed with the INT signal so that it could be used in place of the INT CPU interrupt signal. Set this flag to use that function. No. 5875-8/15 LC72708E Structure of the Output Data • The output data consists of a total of 288 bits (36 bytes). The first two bytes are status information, and data is output in a single data block unit. • CNT1 and CNT2 are output LSB first. • The corrected data is output starting with the first bit in the data block. • BIC codes are not output. Note: The CPU can easily select data by discriminating the status information at first during data readout. Data that is determined to be unnecessary can be immediately cancelled without reading it out. (The CPU can simply ignore the data until the next interrupt arrives.) For example, the CPU can also read out just the first 22 bytes (the data block section) of the corrected data, and does not have to read out the unrequired 12 bytes (the layer 2 CRC and parity data). CNT1 (8 bits) CNT2 (8 bits) Corrected data 176 bits CRC (14 bits) Parity (82 bits) • CNT1 Layer 4 CRC shift register: Not all zeros. Layer 4 CRC shift register: All zeros (no errors) Data for the first block is being output (block No.0) Data block data Parity block data Error correction and layer 2 CRC check OK Either an uncorrectable error or the NG layer 2 CRC check Indicates data received with frame synchronization not achieved Indicates data received with frame synchronization achieved Indicates data received with block synchronization not achieved Indicates data received with block synchronization achieved Output with horizontal correction only Output with horizontal and vertical corrections Notes: • CRC indicates the layer 2 CRC check when the ERR flag is 1. • The CRC4 result is the data immediately preceding the point when the CCB output address (#FB) was input and CE was high. • The HEAD flag is valid only for horizontal correction data output, i.e. when VH is 0. • See page 10 for details on VH blanking in the horizontal and vertical directions. • CNT2 BLN0 to BLN7: Indicates either the block number for the output data or the parity block number. The data blocks in a single frame are numbered 0 to 189, and the parity blocks are numbered 0 to 81. Parity block data is not output for post-vertical correction output. No. 5875-9/15 LC72708E Operation During Reset and in Standby Mode • The Reset Signal A reset operation is performed by holding the RST pin input level under VIL for at least 300 ns when the power-supply voltage (VDD) is over 3.4 V. (See the figure below.) Applications must apply a reset when power is first applied or when power is reapplied. VDD voltage • Pin Outputs During a Reset Low-level outputs: CLK16 (7), DATA (8), FCK (20), BCK (21), FLOCK (22), BLOCK (25), CRC4 (26), IC1 (3), IC2 (4) High-level outputs: INT (27), XOUT (1) Open: DO (31) • Reset Operating Range The output pin states according to the reset signal are stipulated by item “Pin outputs during a reset” above. The IC internal flip-flops are all reset. Although the delay shift registers are also reset, the memory array is not influenced. However, since memory refresh operation stops, data cannot be retained. The crystal oscillator circuit does not stop. • Data Input After a Reset After a reset completes and at least one full clock cycle (about 278 ns at 3.6 MHz, this is the IC’s main clock) has elapsed, the serial input control circuit will be able to operate and accept data. • Standby Mode The IC can be set to standby mode by setting the STNBY pin high. Since all IC operations are stopped in this mode, this produces a state essentially equivalent to the power off state. (Note that after standby mode has been cleared, a wait period is required until the crystal oscillator circuit is operating stably.) The pin output states in standby mode are identical to the states after a reset as described in item “Pin outputs during a reset” above. The internal VICS registers are also cleared, and the states of the state flags and other bits are not retained. Notes on Post Error Correction Output Data • The received data is error corrected using (272, 190) codes in single block (272 bits) unit. An error check using the layer 2 CRC is also performed. After error correction, the IC prepares for transfer of the data to the CPU and outputs the INT signal. This is referred to as horizontal correction output. • However, the INT signal is not output at this time if the corresponding output data does not meet all of the following three conditions. — Error correction completed and it passed the layer 2 CRC check. — The data was received while both block and frame synchronization were established. — The data was packet data. Note that all received packet data can be acquired by setting bit 5 (INT) in the control register. • If the data could not be corrected by the horizontal correction system, correction using product codes is performed in frame units. This is called vertical correction. The data that can be acquired at the output of the vertical correction is the following. — Data that was fully corrected in horizontal correction is not output. — Packet data that could not be corrected by horizontal correction but that was fully corrected by vertical correction is output. — Packet data that could not be corrected by either horizontal or vertical correction is not output. Note that, as is the case for horizontal correction output, all received packet data can be acquired by setting bit 5 (INT) in the control register. However, the parity packet data corrected by vertical correction cannot be output even if this flag bit is set. No. 5875-10/15 LC72708E • To prevent unnecessary error correction, the vertical correction is not applied to packets that were fully corrected by horizontal correction or to packets that had no errors. • Vertical correction is executed when all packet data in the object data was received while frame synchronization was established and not all of the packet (block) data was corrected by horizontal correction. Vertical correction is not performed if a whole frame of data with no errors is received, or if the frame was not synchronized. Also, the corresponding post-vertical correction output data is not output. • All data can be output, regardless of the correction complete/incomplete, synchronized/unsynchronized reception, data/packet status or other conditions by setting bit 5 (INT) in the control register to 1. However, there also are cases where the vertical correction output data is not output as described above. CPU Interface Basic Restrictions To save internal memory, this IC uses the smallest possible output buffer. Since the data that the IC receives is written to memory without any breaks, if data readout is delayed post-correction data that should be read out will be overwritten by the next data to be output. The output timings in this IC for post-correction (horizontal and vertical) data are stipulated as follows. • When preparation of the output data has completed, the IC issues a transfer request by setting the INT pin low. • For data output, there are periods in which only horizontal data can be output and periods in which both horizontal data and vertical data can be output. • Data transfers must be completed within about 9 ms after the INT pin goes low. For periods in which only posthorizontal correction data can be output, data can be transferred over a period of about 18 ms. Even if the CPU is in the midst of a read operation, the next output data will be written to the output buffer after the specified period elapses. • Only one block of data can be read for a single transfer request (INT) for both vertical and horizontal correction. After vertical correction processing completes, the post-vertical correction data is output in order starting with block number 1, and the parity block data is not output. Only horizontal data output Horizontal and vertical data output Horizontal data output period Horizontal data output period Period when data cannot be guaranteed Vertical data output period Figure 2 External Interface Basic Timing Notes on Data Output Timing (The relationship with the received data) Figure 3 shows the timing relationship between the received data and the interrupt control signal INT. However, the delay component relative to the actually received signal due to the demodulation operations in the MSK demodulation block is ignored. Block synchronization is established by recognizing the BIC code. As shown in figure 3, the data for the nth packet can be output during the reception of the next packet, packet number n + 1. Figure 4 shows the output timing for the post-vertical correction data. Vertical correction is executed when the data for a whole frame is stored in memory, frame synchronization is established, and furthermore horizontal correction was not able to correct all the packet data. The timing for the start of vertical correction execution is the head of the frame. During reception of packets 1 to 28 in the nth frame, horizontal correction is performed on each packet, data is passed to the CPU, and the remaining unused processing time during that interval is used to apply vertical correction to the data from the previous frame (frame n – 1). The post-vertical correction data (190 blocks of data) is output in order starting when the 29th packet (block) is received at the rate of one block of output data for every block received. Of the data in the FM multiplex broadcast frame structure, only the data in the data blocks is output, and the 190th block (the last data block) is output while the 218th block is being received. As discussed previously (page 9), of the post-vertical correction output data, the packet data for which horizontal correction completed fully is not output (the INT signal is not issued). However, it is not the case that the vertical output is speeded up by the amount of the packet data that is not output. For example, if data packets 1 to 100 were fully corrected in horizontal correction, the point that the 101st post-vertical correction packet data is output will not be the reception position block number 29 in figure 4, but the reception position of packet data number 129. No. 5875-11/15 LC72708E Packet (N – 1) Packet data N Packet (N + 1) Reception data Period that data cannot be guaranteed Output period for packet data (N – 1) Output of packet data N Figure 3 Timing of Data Reception and Block Synchronization Data Output Frame N – 1 Reception block number Frame N Output period for the post-vertical correction data from the previous frame Figure 4 Post-Vertical Correction Data Output Timing Notes on Output Data Selection During Tuning (Provided for reference purposes.) A tuning system is required in an FM multiplex broadcast reception system. However, applications must perform the following processing if it is unacceptable for the IC to output data for the previous station after tuning a new station. • Set bit 4 (SYNC RST) in the control register during tuning to set the synchronization circuit to the unsynchronized state. • If bit 5 (INT) in the control register is enabled, do not use the post-vertical correction output (data for which bit 7 in the status flags CNT1 is 1) until frame synchronization is re-established. Of the DARC FM multiplex processing, this IC performs the processing through error correction (layer 2) without requiring any special control operations. The IC itself is not able to recognize whether the content of the received data has changed or whether the system has been tuned to another station. Therefore the application system must use the above procedure to command the IC not to output the old data and only to output the new data. The synchronization relationship between the stations is also problematic; although it is rare that the frames of the previous station and the next station would be synchronized, applications must also perform the processing described above to cancel the frame synchronization forward protection period. No. 5875-12/15 LC72708E Differences in Data Output between this IC and the LC72700E (Provided for reference purposes.) The LC72700E provided all data that could be provided to the microcontroller in the later stages of the system, and was designed so that the microcontroller was required to decide whether to accept or discard the data by checking the status output. For example, a received data packet could be output as post-horizontal correction data and then again, a few seconds later, could be output as post-vertical correction data. Data with no errors, or data that could be corrected by horizontal correction was output twice as identical data. This IC implements the conditions shown on page 10 (in “Notes on Post Error Correction Output Data”) concerning data with no errors. Stated simply, this IC does not output data unnecessarily. For example, the INT signal will not be output for data from a received station that is not broadcasting multiplexed data. Also, under good reception conditions where there are no errors, there will be no post-vertical correction output and the INT signal period will be 18 ms. There are cases where it may become impossible to acquire the data if the microcontroller software includes the data acquisition conditions required for the LC72700E. For example, this problem may occur if the software was designed to use only the post-vertical correction output. Since this IC does not output the same data twice and does not output bad data at all, applications do not need to select from the input data if they simply acquire all data that starts at every INT signal. (In other words, it can be also said that this IC does not generate any unnecessary interrupt signals.) To set up this IC to provide the same output format as that of the LC72700E, applications must set bit 5 (INT MODE) in the control register to 1. Note that this IC is added a control function that causes the IC not to output post-vertical correction data if the vertical correction operation was not executed. Since this control function is not influenced by the INT MOVE flag, post-vertical correction output is not provided during error-free reception even if the INT MOVE flag was set. Thus care is required in application software design.
